Metal Gear Rising gets a release date, gamescom 2012 trailer

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has been catching a lot of heat because of the whole lack-of-stealth thing, but many Metal Gear fans are still looking forward to seeing where it's all going. This new trailerfor the game from Gamescom 2012 is pretty much the same one we saw at E3, but with a new bit tacked on in which Raiden has to fight a robot dog with a chainsaw on its head. Oh yeah.It looks like you can tame that critter at some point, too.

Revengeance also got a release date, that being February 21st, 2013. You don't have to wait till then to have a look, however, as the Zone of Enders HD Collection will have a Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance demo on it when it releases in October.

Oh my gosh. This game just gets cheesier and cheesier. I can't take it anymore. The whole last part was just so hilariously bad. Gameplay could be good, though. Like I said in another post, it's a good thing I don't play games for story/narrative.

Raiden: "...but I was wrong"

*cue background vocals*
Background Vocals:WRONG!

It's meant to be a bit cheesy and funny. Do you remember Raiden getting pissed on in MGS2? Or when the president grabbed his balls? Or when Akiba was taking a $#@! in a barrel, or $#@! himself in a gunfight? Or when Big Boss got really excited about glowing mushrooms? Or Otacon pissing himself in MGS1? Please stop acting like MGS has never had anything weird, cheesy, or funny in it.

Also this is Platinum Games working with Kojima Productions. Personally I'm really excited, I loved Bayonetta, and I'm a huge MGS fan and love the idea of playing as a Cyborg Ninja finally.

Heck just playing MGS4 again has me pumped for this and the inevitable true MGS5.

He slices a helicopter with a 4 ft blade. Of course it's cheesy.
I liked it though.

No he doesn't. It's a video game. But there's an explanation for this. Take GOW for example. Although Kratos' blades are attached at the END of the chains (which can be over 30 meters long, or over 90 feet --> look GOW1 hydra fight; and although Raiden's sword is NOT a magical weapon, it's the same principle: Kratos cuts everything that get's touched within the radius of his chains.) he cuts everything within the radius of his chains.

With Raiden, it's a little bit different. Think of it as some sort of "everything gets cut in this layer". Sorry I can't find the proper English terms, but I hope you understand what I mean. It's not that the blade itself extends itself, but it's a layer that's created by the blade and everything that's within this layer/angle get's cut. I think that's pretty badass and much more fun.

Edit: Oh and by the way... when I first saw a Metal Gear Rising trailer this year (never heard of it before because I never played a Metal Gear game) I felt embarrassed watching it, because it felt sooooooo damn cheesy when he threw this huge boss with the huge orange blade, then jumped onto the blade and cut it to pieces. Or when the street/bridge collapsed and he runs up the WALL (the street is positioned at a nearly 90 degree angle!), jumps from rocket to rocket, and cuts the helicopter to pieces from a huge distance, although his blade is only 1,2 meters (or 4 feet - it may be longer or shorter, I don't know) long.

But month after month, my interest grew and now I'm absolutely hyped for this game. I loved the bit at the end of the new Gamescom trailer. It's exactly this cheesy vibe that's different now. All games try to be super-serious these days. It gives you some kind of old school feel - and I like that.

I predict that MGR Revengeance will be one hell of a game that's huge loads of fun.

I'm aware that MGS has always had its moments like those and remember almost all of those. The amount in MGR, however, is more than I would have ever expected, that's all.

It's not like I think the game will be bad or something. I'm just indifferent to the direction of the game at the moment.
